COMBINED WRENCH AND TlRE -SETTERL SPECIFICATIQN forming-part of Letters Patent No. 704,725, dated July 15, 1992.

7 Application filed April 21, 1902. Serial No. 103,966. I (No modeh) 4 To aZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, MAnIsoN WHITEsIDE, a citizen of the United States, residingat Carrier, in the county of Garfield, Territory of Oklahoma,have invented certain new and useful Improvements in a Combined Wrench and Tire-Setter; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and'exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to combinationtools; and it has for its objectto provide a tool which may be used as a wrench or a bolt-cutter and in which the jaws may beeasily and quickly adjusted to fit over different sizes of bodies before applying pressure and in which the operating-1evers' will be held securely against displacement. V p v A further object of the invention is to provide a construction which maybe-employed for drawing of wheel-tires, otherobjects and advantages of the inventionbeing understood from the following description, f

In the drawings forming a portion of this specification,- and in which like numerals of reference indicate similar parts in both views, Figure l is a side elevation showingthe tool with the jaws disengaged. Fig.2 is a section taken longitudinally through thetool with the jaws engaged.

Referring now to the drawings, the present tool comprises a main stem 5, upon one end of which is a fixed head 6, having at its outer end a jaw 7, adjacent to which is formed through the head a passage 8 and beyond which passage and on the side of the head is fixed a cutting-blade 9. Through the passage 8 is passed a second or supplemental stem 10, having a head 11 fixed to its upper end and which head has a jaw 12, which moves toward and away from the jaw 7 when the stem is reciprocated in the slot or opening 8. At the opposite end'ofthe head 11 is a cutting-blade 13.

Upon the face of the stem '5, adjacent to the stem 10, is formed a rack 14,-and pivoted to the lower end of the stem 10 is a metal strap 15, which is passed around the stem- 5, this strap being of U shape and having the downwardly-extending spaced arms 16, between the free ends of which is pivoted a 1ever 17, having a segmental gear 18, which is adapted to engage the rack so that when the lever is rocked the stem 10 and the parts carried thereby will be reciprocated with respect to the stem 5. NV-hen the lever'17 is raised to its limit, the segmental gear is moved from engagement with the rack, andthe stem 10 and its accompanying partsm'ay be then adjusted freely and quickl m Thus when the lever is rocked the clamping or wrench jaws 7 and 12 will be moved toward andaway from each other as will also be the cutting-blades. To prevent displacement of" the segmental gear from the rack during the operation of the jaws,.a U-shaped strap .ispivoted at its ends to the ends of the armsglfi andis passed around the stem 5, and engaged with the sides of the strapis the pivot or axle 18 of a roller 19, disposed to travel against the face of the stem 5.

On the rear face of the head 6.is a lug 20, which forms one jaw of atire setting'device, the other jaw 21 of which is carried by a metal plate 22, having its opposite end bifurcated and the resultant arms connected by the pin 23, which is engaged beneath a keeper 24 on the back of the lever 17 This plate may be swung into position with its jaw'beyond the jaw on the head 6, and whenthelever is then operated the jaw of the platewill be moved toward or away from the jaw of the head to force the tire in place.

It will be understood that in practice modifications of the specific construction shown may be made and that any suitable materials and proportions may be used for the various parts without departing from the spirit of the invention.

What is claimed is- 1. A tool of the class described comprising a stem having a perforated head and a rack below the head, a second stem passed through the perforation and having a head for cooperation with the head of the first stem, a strap attached to the second stem and passed'around the first stem and provided with spacedarms, a lever pivoted between the spaced arms and having a segmental gear movable into and out of engagement with the rack when" the lever is rocked, a second strap connected to the arms at opposite sides of the segmental gear and passed around the first stem, and abearing-roller mounted between the sides of the second strap and adapted for contact with the opposite face of the first stem from the lever.

2. A tool comprising a stem having a perforated head and a rack below the head a second stem passed through the perforation of the head, a lever pivotally connected with the second stem and having a gear engaged with the rack to reciprocate the second stem when the lever is rocked, a stop upon the second stem for contact with the head of the first stem to limit the movement of the lever in one direction, a lug upon the head of the first stem,

and a plate pivoted to the lever and having a terminal jaw, said plate being adapted to lie with its jaw beyond the lug for movement of the jaw toward and away from the lug when the lever is rocked.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

his MADISON WHITESIDE.
